Green Gone Wrong:
she exposes how the “green” movement is failing to live up to the promise of
sustainability and stewardship of the environment when the solutions are
hijacked by economic and political interests. Industrial organic farms now
resemble the conventional farms they were meant to replace; biofuels such as
ethanol and palm oil raise food prices and replace precious rain forests,
displacing indigenous peoples and creating more greenhouse gases than they
save; carbon dioxide–offsetting projects are mismanaged into failure. Yet,
despite the title, Rogers found solutions that do work, such as truly
organic farming methods, cutting-edge green architecture in Germany and the
UK, and plug-in hybrid vehicles. Yet our corporate and political leaders
continue to incentivize what poses the least challenge to established power
structures, leaving out those such as the dedicated, truly organic farmers,
who can barely make ends meet. Once again Rogers’ clear-headed approach
proves effective in uncovering the truths behind the mantle of greenwashing.
